A native parasitic lamprey found in Great Lakes tributaries. Smaller and less damaging than the invasive Sea Lamprey. Rarely noticed by anglers.
No stocking records are on file for Silver Lamprey.
This is common for several reasons: this species may reproduce naturally and not require stocking (e.g. Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike), it may be managed under a different program not tracked here, or records may predate our database. For the most current data, check the Michigan DNR Stocking Database directly.
